Why I Keep Writing On Vocal
Introduction I often write about why I still write, and I loved the Ray Bradbury meme. Writers write, artists paint, sculptors sculpt, musicians create songs, but there are times when I think that I have reached the end.

Running Man Press
It was a dark and rainy day... Okay, apologies over the whole 'It was a dark and stormy night' cliché, but I discovered over the Victoria Day weekend that one of my stories became front page news in a journal called the Running Man Press. The interesting thing is that I had almost forgotten that I had written and submitted the piece (the editor who said that he would inform me of the date of publication never contacted me about the issue). I have also discovered that it is not available online (the page I found advertised how to submit, the fact that they only print 5000 copies per issues - a smart idea, I think - and that they have many wonderful t-shirts and other doodads available to support their cause).

Staying Inspired
Okay, here’s the thing with me: I have an unspoken time limit for everything I do. It’s silent, it’s sneaky, and it’s always there. No one knows what the time limit is, including me, but like the timer in Scattergories, that limit will be met, and it will be impossible to continue when it is met. This applies to every single thing I do in my life, including writing a story. What this means for me is that I have to either knock out stories fast, or not at all. I do have methods to improve my ability to do this, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about today. Today, I’d like to tell you what other people have to say on the matter.

The Corona Virus
The Corona Virus The corona deep fills many hearts with fear. I fear for myself and those I love. The reason that I fear for myself is that I catch everything that’s going. I had a theory, and until today, I have kept it to myself. So now let’s throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The Golden Age of Islam
The Scientific and Philosophical Contributions of Muslims in the Golden Age of Islam: How Did Europe Benefit? The period of history known as the Golden Age of Islamic Civilization—the period from the 8th to the 13th centuries—was a unique period of scientific and intellectual awakening not only for the Muslim world but for all of humanity. Although this period is commonly referred to in the West as the “Middle Ages” or “Dark Ages,” the Muslim world was at the dawn of a knowledge-based, research-based, and human-welfare-oriented civilization. The Muslim thinkers, physicians, mathematicians, philosophers, astronomers, and engineers of this Golden Age sowed the seeds of discoveries and ideas that later laid the foundation for the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Scientific Revolution in Europe. Sadly, these contributions have been largely forgotten or misrepresented in historical scholarship today.
